214 十八世紀 白玉太平如意洗
L11.8cm
白玉質，質地細膩瑩潤如凝脂，潔白光澤。洗呈海棠花口形，口沿刻回紋一周，弧壁淺腹，下承隨形圈足，造形獨特。洗內雕兩童子呈蹲坐之姿，童子頭梳雙髻，彎眉細目，鼻樑挺直，仰頭上望，面帶笑容。一童子手握太平車，另一童子手持如意，寓意「太平如意」，造形設計別具巧思。整體線條挺拔流暢，內外打磨光潔細緻，掏膛勻淨，不失清雅秀麗，體現出玉質「體如凝脂、精光內蘊」之特色，置於案頭增添清雅意韻。
中國玉器發展至宋代，製玉工藝趨於成熟，題材開始趨向世俗化，生活用器和玩賞器日益增多，富有濃厚民間生活氣息的玉雕童子成為當時人們喜愛的主題。宋代童子以持荷題材為典型，且頭部較大，五官刻劃較簡單；明代童子在保留元代遺風基礎上出現新特點，雕工趨於簡練豪放；至清代，玉雕童子造形多樣，或站、或蹲、或跪、或臥等，姿態極為豐富活潑，除持蓮荷外還增加多種題材，尤其是持如意等物，寓意吉祥、喜慶的主題成為清代主流。清宮舊藏，北京故宮博物院庋藏清〈白玉五子登科水丞〉，與本品皆雕琢精緻細膩的童子們，姿態各異，手持各式物品，充滿吉祥象徵。
本件水洗玉質上乘，寶光瑩瑩，雕工精細，童子姿態、神情等各處細節琢磨細膩。童子亦是人生之初，行為樸質無邪，坦蕩率真，有吉祥富貴，多子多福之意，是件令人愛不釋手的文房佳品。拍場相似之例可參見拍賣於北京匡時2010年6月6日，編號1172，清乾隆〈白玉帶皮如意平安洗〉，雕琢形制與本品相同，可資參考。
